Bear River Families,
The health and safety of our students and staff are our top priority. This email is to inform you of an additional positive case of COVID-19 at Bear River High School. The student was last on campus on Friday, April 9th. In response to a handful of inquiries received by my office last week, please understand that this communication is a requirement of the established protocol in the county for the notification of a known positive COVID-19 case on a school campus.
Public Health has been notified and the individual is taking further steps in accordance with guidance from NC Public Health and our district COVID-19 protocols and procedures. The individual and their household has been placed in isolation and they are working with their healthcare providers to take additional steps, including notifying any close contacts.
